Soroptimist International - Yorkshire

Welcome to the webpage of Soroptimist International (SI) of Yorkshire, part of a global women’s voluntary service organisation.  Soroptimists work to transform the lives of women and girls through education, empowering and enabling opportunities. 

My name is Linda Davis and I am a member of Soroptimist International of Dewsbury and District. I became a member of the club in January 2005. I have been the Programme Action lead twice and Club President twice, once on my own 2008/9 and then as a job share 2018/19. 

The theme for the next two years is SIMPLY the 5Ps.

PEOPLE  To end poverty and hunger

PROSPERITY To ensure that all human beings can enjoy prosperous and fulfilling lives                                    

PEACE  To foster peaceful and just societies free from fear and violence     

PLANET  To protect the planet

PARTNERSHIP  To work through a revitalised Global Partnership     

There are 21 clubs in Yorkshire all involved in Programme Action Work. There are International, National, Regional and Local projects. Soroptimist International of Yorkshire is celebrating its 85^th Charter in 2021.                  

Soroptimist International of Yorkshire is part of a global network of more than 80,000 Soroptimists in 124 countries across the world and we greatly value our special link to the United Nations.
